This past month Snackbox has moved its headquarters into the historic Whit Hanks building on West Sixth Street. This unique space brings a culturally enriching experience to the Snackbox office.  Clients are sure to enjoy their visit once the Snackbox team is all settled into their new home.

This move to West Sixth Street was inspired by some of our clients just down the street from the all new HQ: Jose Luis Salon, Barley + Pfeiffer Architects and Nest Modern.

Snackbox is continuing to expand its Austin presence, and what better location to do so? An established area of Austin is just the right place to house our team’s first official office space.  Great creativity is taking place inside this office.

 

Snackbox has been selected to handle public relations efforts surrounding the 25th anniversary celebration of Jose Luis Salon. The project will include securing media outlets and event coverage for the upcoming “On Stage” runway show. All proceeds raised by the show will benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  

“Jose Luis Salon is the ultimate hair and beauty experience in Austin,” said Jenna Oltersdorf, Principal, Snackbox. “Our team could not be more honored and excited to assist Jose Luis Salon in celebrating this amazing 25 year milestone with one of the most memorable shows Austin has seen.”

Leading up to the event in September, Snackbox will be spearheading media outreach to raise awareness and create excitement among the Austin fashion audience. For more information about “On Stage”, visit this link.
